We have updated from 2025.10.4 to 2025.11.2 and everything went perfectly! Thanks to the Home Assistant team and all the beta testers.
Target Selector
This is likely feedback more suited for the Target selector developers. I have a blueprint,
Low Battery Notifications & Actions, that uses the target selector under Battery Settings > Excluded Battery Sensors. It lets you exclude batteries using Areas, Devices, Entities, and Labels. It is also the same outcome for another input in the blueprint that allow you to add a custom group of batteries called Battery Sensors - Custom Group.
Entities and Labels display their entities correctly. But, Areas and Devices show no entities, even though those Areas and Devices definitely contain battery sensors. The blueprint itself works and successfully excludes or Includes the entities, but the UI doesn’t show them, which makes it look like the Areas and Devices don’t have any entities.
I’ve checked the documentation and can’t see if I am doing it wrong, so I’m unsure whether I’ve misconfigured something or if this is a bug.
Below is the input code:
exclude_sensors:
name: Excluded Battery Sensors (Optional)
description: >
Choose the battery sensors to exclude when the automation runs.
The automation will attempt to detect all battery sensors in Home Assistant, including those of your phones, tablets, smartwatches, and more.
However, it may not always be necessary or desirable to monitor all of these batteries.
Selecting those battery sensors here will exclude them from your notifications.
default: { entity_id: [] }
selector:
target:
entity:
device_class: battery
#### and custom group
custom_group:
name: Battery Sensors - Custom Group (Optional)
description: >
You can select a custom group of battery sensors to be include in your notifications, with its own independent `Battery Low Warning Level` setting below.
This allows you to either set a different warning level for devices that require more power (for example, roller blinds) or monitor your own custom group of batteries.
When using any **Easy Notify** option and selecting **Use All Battery Sensors Minus Excluded Battery Sensors + Custom Group**, it is recommended to exclude your custom group of batteries above in the `Excluded Battery Sensors` input.
This prevents any chance of receiving the same entity multiple times in your notifications.
***Note** - All excluded battery sensors are not linked to this custom group.*
default: { entity_id: [] }
selector:
target:
entity:
device_class: battery
Blacky ![]()
PS: One thing that would be nice is to keep the same colour format we had before for the heading of entities, areas, device and labels. Its a nice identifier and to add some colour back.
